I've been experiencing pain on the right side of my chest, and it seems to get worse when I laugh or cough. I'm a bit worried about what it could be, and I'm wondering if I should be taking any medication for it. Could you give me some advice on how to relieve it or if theres anything specific I should do?

Question

Ive been having this weird shortness of breath lately, and its causing me to yawn a lot. I do feel a bit better after yawning, but its been going on for a really long time. I think its related to my allergies, probably from dust and pollution. Any advice on what I can do to get some relief?

Question

I've had an x-ray done today, and it shows that my diaphragm is a bit elevated. I dont have a cough, but I'm feeling some chest pain on the right side when I take a deep breath. I'm a bit worried and am wondering what could be causing this. I don't smoke and I've never had asthma. Do you think this pain will go away on its own? What other issues could this possibly be?

Question
